This lurker is still trying to see how Brits will overthrow the monarchy without starting a revolution. Is that legally allowed?
Portugal abolished the monarchy back in 1910, but that was a time of crisis, tension and civil conflicts - The mentality was different and it was considered rational to implement a republic and even regicide one of the throne's heirs... But now we are all part of the EU, the British monarchy is basically a representation of stability and continuity present in British society (this is specially important because Absolutism and other kinds of extremism didn't flourish so often there) and a certain degree of conservatism is representative of the UK - When was the last time there was a coup'd État, a revolution, a drastic change of values that wasn't implemented progressively with a more conservative approach?

Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
